IIRC, Aaron Neuman and Mike Ritchie did something like this a few ECCs
back (ECC IV, specifically), but without the overlaying command
structure.
There was an FT/EFSB game being run next to an FMA game, where the FMA
game was the boarding action. I don't remember all the details. The two
scenarios were called Psi War 2264 (Bester's Gambit and Ivanova's Last
Stand).
